Georgia to Add SO Per Cent. to Her
Wealth in Five Years.

New YORK, May 9-President Alfred
Sully, of the Richmond Terminal Company
who has just returned from trip over his
roads, says: II went over some of our South
Carolina lines, East Tennessee roads and
Georgia Pacific. found them all in very
good condition and great boom down there
in real estate and mining interests. There is
lull in the Birmingham real estate sales,
but there is a very large amount of build
ing going on. There seems to be a remark
able amount of enterprise manifested in the
South, especially in Alabama and East Ten
nessee developing the natural resources OF
the country. While real estate speculation
may have been overdone at some points
still many localities have yet to feel the
effect of the enterprise and improvements
going on. There is no question but that the
newly developed manufacturing interests of
the South are upon permanent basis and
l believe that Georgia, Alabama and Ten
nessee will add so per cent to their material
wealth in the next five years.

HARDEEvILLE, S. O., May 9.--Judge w.
N Hayward to-day committed to Beaufort
Jail two negro boys for throwing rocks at a
railroad train on Sunday afternoon. The
fast mail train was passing Purysburg cross
ing when a rock smashed in window of one

Judging that they were the miscre-
ants, he quickly pulled the bell
rope and stopped the train. The boys took
to the woods but one was overhauled by
one of the railroad employees and confessed
to being one of the party, and gave the
other boy away and caused his arrest also

Thomas Peoples, young man, acci-

THE RAILROAD COMMISSION BILL.
Among the measures to be considered this
week are the railroad commission bill and
the poll tax bill The commission bill will
most probably be passed after being delayed
as long as possible, but the poll tax bill will
be stubbornly opposed. The railroad COM
panies desire to have the railroad commits
sion bill amended so the salaries paid the
Commissioners will be.increased in order to
get competent men to accept places on it,
also to allow an appeal to the courts of the
State provided the railroad pays all ex-
penses, the award of the commission taking
full effect meantime. 1t is also desired
that the commission act only on complaint
and after hearing.
ON AN EXCURSION.
Quite number of the members went on
an excursion to Newport Sunday. A large
amount of very important work now awaits
action in both houses, and many matters of
great import have not even been presented,
so the last weeks of the session will be
crowded with measures demanding careful
consideration, and it is feared some of them
will be passed without due care. Time
enough, however, remains if it is utilized
from this day forward.

A Portion of the Men Want to Strike
and the Rest Object.
WASHINGTON, May 9.-Dispatches from
different points in the anthracite coal region
are about equally divided in opinion as to
the probability of strike. The knights Of
Labor and Amalgamated Association are at
odds. Both favor a strike but cannot agree
upon the conditions, and the Knights in the
employ of the Reading railroad oppose @
strike until the miners have all joined the
Knights. Merchants do not regard the
movement with much favor, and many say
they will refuse TO sell goods on credit if a
strike takes place.
A CONFERENCE HELD.
PHILADELPHIA, Pa, May 9.-Informal
conferences Were held to-day between repre-
sentatives of the anthracite producing COM
panies whose offices are located here, and ID
is understood they are still determined not
to grant the advance of l0per cent A con-
ference will take place Wednesday between
representatives of the coal miners and pro-
ducing companies at which it is understood
the companies will submit proposition to
the men to give them 3 per cent increase.
General Master Workman Powderly is de-
clared to be opposed to a strike at this time,
as the condition of the coal trades precludes
all possibility of success.

The Presidents Coaehman.

A Washington correspondent writes: l
noticed a funny incident on Pennsylvania
Avenue the other day. Albert Hawkins,
the Presidents coachman, is a large, fine
looking negro, as black as a piece of
polished anthracite coal, and in private
life is a rollicking, jolly good fellow, full
of stories and wit, aud he keeps the stables
in a roar, so that, it is said, the horses
laugh sometimes. But when he is out on
business Albert is as solemn as a Hindoo
god. He sits on the box Of the Presi-
dents carriage without moving a muscle
Of his face for hours, and when the car
riage is waiting anywhere he always shows
the other drivers around what true dignity
is. He has driven seven Presidents, and
no one appreciates the circumstances so
well as he. In twenty-five years of driv-
ing and of handling all sorts Of teams no
accident ever occurred to him, and not a
strap ever broke. He has driven Lincoln,
johnson, Grant, Hayes, Garfield and Ar
thur to take the oath of Office. and has fol
lowed the bodies of Lincoln and Garfield
TO their tomhs.

Eevasia's Watch.

EDITOR SENTINEL: Mr.. Julius @, Land
man, Of Eureka, has recently received let
tiers patent for his invention in watch
cases, and for the information OF your
readers | will describe it. The invention
is especially designed to prevent the move
ment of the watch from injury, in case of
its being dropped or from accidental
blows. II consists OF an inclosing case for
the movement. This case being OF smaller
iameter than the ordinary exterior case,
so as to admit Of a spring between the
two, thus preventing any accidental jar on
the exterior case acting violently upon the
movement. BY this construction the
movement il removed from injury BY
blows or falls, and the balance shaft and
piVots are safe from accident by the spring
interposed between the two cases. Thus
the inner case is allowed to move with the
outer one. The winding stem extends
through the cases, and holds an elastic
collar, whereby the dust is kept out, aud
the inner case allowed to move within the
outer one. This case, with the Patent
Regulator, also invented by Mr.. Landman,
by which the watch can be regulated with
out opening the case and admitting dust
10 the movement, il operated by a ahaft
and wheels connected with the regulator,
and an index hand. with a small dial
properly divided of on the face Of the
watch, 30 as to show how much movement
10 given to the indicator. With this hunt
Ing case watch dust proof, and the indicator
on the dial, the owner will have a time.
Keeper that will save him the annoyance
OIL having to run to the matchmaker TO
aesaiate ~, and will save largely in the
cost OF cleaning and repairing. Mr..
Landman has made arrangements with a
watch case mandatory, and this watch
WIN al OF It's improvements, will soon be
On sale In Nevada. Yours truly,
NAPIAs.
